The Gingerbread Man [EN]

We all know the story of the little Gingerbread Man who ran away from his parents to see the world behind the walls of the oven. He meets multiple creatures who are drooling over his delicious frosting, but every single time he manages to escape. But when he meets an old and witty fox, his confidence, nativity, and lack of knowledge of the outside world cost him his precious sweet life.
But what if we take this story and turn it into a short detective tale about a sleepy British town, where a little boy disappeared, and the only one who can solve this crime is an alcoholic and grumpy detective.
